Matthew 6:26-33
261Look at the birds of the 2air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27And who of you by being 3worried can 4add a single 5hour to his 6life? 28And why are you 7worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29yet I say to you that not even 8Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the 9grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? 10You of little faith! 31Do not 11worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for 12your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But 13seek first 14His kingdom and His righteousness, and 15all these things will be 16added to you.
